After Lightning Knowledge is enabled, Knowledge appears in the Object Manager. This is where you control your Lightning Knowledge settings and page layouts.
Whenever you change the name and API name of your Knowledge Base in Object Manager, we recommend that you do a hard refresh of your browser to avoid server errors. Changing the knowledge base name also affects customizations, Apex, and SOQL queries.
Important Enabling Lightning Knowledge
changes your Org's data model to use record types rather than article types.
Orgs with multiple articles types require data migration to consolidate
article types before enabling Lightning Knowledge. Remember, after you
enable Lightning Knowledge, you can't disable it. Test in a Sandbox or Trial
org before enabling in production.
